OK, I'm a bit puzzled. I was looking to see how the new models match up in terms of size and checked the online User Guides at Sonystyle. According to their User Guides, the PRS-650 is 8.6"x4.66"x0.28" and 7.58 ounces compared with the PRS-600 at 6.88"x4.88"x0.38" and 10.1 ounces.

Does it make sense that the new PRS-650 is approximately 1.75" taller than the older PRS-600 and approximately 2.5 ounces lighter?

If the PRS-650 is REALLY that much taller it will drive me to the PRS-350, even with the smaller screen.

Never mind ... looked at the website and its 6.6 inches compares correctly to the 168mm in the User Guide, but incorrectly to the 8.6 inches in the User Guide. Looks like the User Guide has a type.
